Star-Telegram hasn't corrected its suggestion that readers go hear a musician who died in 1953

Last week Jeff Prince noticed the Star-Telegram advised readers to go hear a musician who died in 1953. Looks like the S-T hasn't issued a correction.

I was looking through the Star-Telegram's corrections, and they've issued 3 corrections since this article was posted, yet none of them are related to this article. They've corrected a phone number and the date of a meeting, but apparently didn't think it necessary to correct the inadvertent resurrection of a renowned musician.

I remember this thread. I laughed then, and I’m still laughing now!

Maybe publisher Gary Wortel wants to save newsprint by not printing corrections. His latest memo to the staff, sent shortly after mandatory 5-day furloughs:

September idea meeting
As I have done in earlier months, any employee who would like to discuss a revenue or expense idea can do so on Friday, Sept. 25.
Expense ideas should be well thought out and reasonable.
Revenue ideas may be advertising or circ-related.
Ideas should be presented in person. No need for anything in writing, although you're welcome to bring examples to illustrate the idea.
You may ask for the meeting to remain anonymous because the material you're presenting is sensitive. Just tell me in advance.
Email or call to schedule meeting times.
Thank, gary

Again, the FWST is a bird cage liner at best. Lets move on. IT SUCKS.

Dear Gary, I would like to discuss why you still have parking while we all pay for it, along with how is it going on the construction of your new mansion up in the NE Tarrant Co area. No need to make this private, we all would like to know.

Read between the lines:

"No need for anything to be in writing" means if it is a good idea Good Ole Gary will take all the credit for it and won't reward you financially for the suggestion.
"You may ask for the meeting to remain anonymous" means let me know about some other jobs that I can cut and I might let you stay on the payroll in the future for being a company stooge like me.

Who would have ever thought that Gary could build anything, much less a mansion for himself. He's been a 1-man wrecking crew tearing down the S-T ever since he arrived on the scene 2 years ago.

PLEASE--somebody propose putting dime machines on the restroom stalls. Twenty to nothing says Wortel will consider it.
